Obsessed Vol. 1

Information

Publisher Synopsis

In the heart of Hong Kong, beauty and darkness walk hand in hand—and sometimes, desire is the most dangerous crime of all.

When a beloved literature teacher is found brutally murdered, Inspector Lai Shing-yui is called to the scene. The investigation leads him to a soft-spoken, seemingly fragile secondary school student named Lam Yik—and from their first encounter, something shifts. What begins as curiosity twists into something deeper, darker: a consuming obsession that defies reason and crosses every line of morality.

As Lai entangles himself further in Lam’s quiet, unsettling world, a pattern of grotesque murders begins to emerge—each more theatrical, each more pointed. The victims are not random. And as the clues spiral into something stranger and more intimate, Lai finds himself unable—or unwilling—to let go.

Haunted by both the case and his own forbidden feelings, he must ask himself whether he’s chasing the truth—or running from it.

Obsessed is a haunting danmei thriller that explores the thin, dangerous line between justice and desire, guilt and obsession. And in a city full of masks, the most terrifying revelations are often the ones we refuse to see.

“For an instant, he could neither think nor breathe. Worse, he could not even remember where he was—not that he cared.”
